We live in earthquake country and have a second set of supplies stashed outside of the house in case we can't get back inside the house/garage.

An additional suggestion for all:
Twice a year (pick two days... first day of Spring and first day of Fall, General Conference, whatever...) bring the kit out and unpack it.
-Spread the items out so you can take notice of what you have in there.
-Inspect each item.
-Replace anything damaged or expired.
-Make sure the spare clothing still fits.
-Add or upgrade items with respect to how your family needs may have changed.
-Then properly re-pack it.
This makes for an excellent opportunity to not only keep aware of what you have in the kit as well as keeping the thing properly stocked, but also to avoid ugly surprises like:
"Honey, where are the radio batteries?"
"Oh, I took them out last year when we gave little Johnny that walking robot for his birthday... I've been meaning to buy some more..."

Another stupid question: once we seal off our house, how do we get air into it? (I feel like I should know the answer to this one.)

Water purification tablets, 5 gallon jugs with potable water. (refillable) Nothing bigger unless you're a strong single woman. If you have the space, something to heat food and /or water in.
Bring a sturdy, multi-purpose knife. The right knife can make many other tools.

Make one cut in those large rubber bands (gumbans here in Pittsburgh) that they wrap around broccoli and save them for a tourniquet to stop profuse bleeding.

I was talking with my father this morning and he said that the type of plasic sheeting you buy makes a huge difference. He's been in the flexible film industry for 30 years and he said that some of the material that has been recommended won't do anything to protect or seal a room from chemicals. It depends if the sheeting has a barrier or not. If there is no barrier in the film, then the chemicals will pass right through. Be careful what you choose.
I'm going to talk to him later today to see if he can make any suggestions.

You forgot weapons, guns, knives, etc. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised to see attempted looting.

Thanks for the info UtahGirl, I'm going to the grocery store in an hour.
This may seem to be a stupid question but I am looking to purchase a gun and was wondering if anyone knew what the age limit was in Illinois. I'm assuming it is either 18 or 21, I'm 20 so I'm right in between.

The list is good, but if the scat hits the fan, along with all the other items mentioned, you should get a bottle of Betadene disinfectant to add to your first aid bag...
